Yes, it's a pretty famous story. One of those 'You'll always remember where you were when you first heard it ones. Below John Kennedy's assassination, Lennon's murder, who shot JR, Princess Di's death, Man Utd being relegated in 1974,Man Utd being relegated in '37 (oh how we laughed at that one!), the sinking of the Titanic, Man Utd being relegated in 1931, the cancellation of Star Trek original series, Newton Heath being relegated in 1894, the distinct possibility of a one of the ends at Maine Road being named after Colin Bell, learning that Franny Lee truly was a womble, but well above the one when Father Christmas (famously) changed his wardrobe from green to red.
well it is round our way.

I was sat on my grandfather's knee, carefully peeling off some toffee encrusted from his dogtoothed waistcoat (whippets, as you ask. He used to keep them under his flat cap). "Listen boy," he said - he never was good with names - "Manchester City have only just gone and got through to the quarter final of the cup winner's cup by narrowly beating Koninklijke Lierse Sportkring eight nil on aggregate, and let me say, after only beating them by three goals to nil in the first leg, away from home it was a real doubt that they would be able to hold on at home - you know what the weather can be like in Manchester, real muslim stuff, makes all the difference - well, they've only just done it like, and, you know what, you know what," he spluttered, spattering my pale blue painted cheeks with some really nasty, bitter mint flavoured spittle,
"Yes I do, it's a card game with shapes and numbers and it's second in fun only to learning that ManUre have lost," I interjected (he made me clean it up later).
"Nay lad, hold onto your horses, come back here, come back here, you haven't got any bleedin' horses, they've only gone and ignored the City again because those spawny journalists think those jammy bastards united winning a league cup replay game against Brian Clough's Derby County one feckin nil is more important. Blooming Brian Kidd fluked it - he'll never amount to much, thank God we didn't sign him - more important than City being the only Engerlish club in European football! I ask you what," he articulated with the precision of an oil sheik drilling a whore.
"Oh," I said, "matter of fact, what did you mean by muslim weather?"
"Well, here in Manchester it's always sunny or she-ite."
Never forgotten it.

City may be one of the best, and on paper they should be THE best, but not Liverpool. They are mid-table for a good reason.
